Logitech G Launches RS50 Modular Direct-Drive Racing System at $700

The launch targets the mid‑market gap separating Logitech's older wheels from its $1,000 flagship.

Overview

  • The RS50 wheel base delivers up to 8 Nm of direct‑drive torque with TrueForce feedback and an onboard OLED for tuning.
  • Pricing lands at $349.99 for the wheel base, $159.99 for the RS Pedals, and $699.99 for a system bundle, with an optional clutch at about $44.99.
  • RS Pedals include a load‑cell brake and Hall‑effect throttle as standard, plus rear extensions designed to prevent tipping on desk setups.
  • The modular ecosystem works with existing RS Wheel Hub wheels, offers Xbox or PlayStation versions with PC support, and adds a Racing Adapter for older Logitech pedals and shifters.
  • Logitech also announced McLaren‑branded RS hardware and a McLaren edition Playseat as part of the rollout.
